CHAMPVA for Life (CFL) is a healthcare benefits program for people over the age of 65 who are dependents of veterans, survivors of veterans or survivors of persons who died in the line of duty. CFL covers most healthcare services and supplies that are medically and psychologically necessary. To be eligible for CFL you cannot be eligible for TRICARE/CHAMPUS.
CFL provides an outpatient prescription drug benefit. If you have other insurance that has an outpatient prescription benefit, select any pharmacy and pay for your prescription. CFL will typically pay the co-pay.
If you do not have insurance with an outpatient prescription benefit you have two options:
- Use Meds by Mail program. Prescription medication is mailed to your home and you pay nothing. This program is designed for your maintenance medication needs. Obtain a registration form from their website www.va.gov/hac
- Use a pharmacy that is part of the Medical Matrix Network. You pay your 25% cost share after the deductible is met. To find Medical Matrix pharmacies, go to the Medical Matrix website at www.medicalmatrix.com or call them at 1-800-880-1377.
For more information and complete eligibility requirements for CFL, contact them at 1-800-733-8387 or hac.inq@med.va.gov
